Change is recognized by how it feels (typically lighter and better) and results are often experienced already after the first session, as well as between consecutive sessions.
Contrary to other treatment choices, each session is goal specific and works in succession to create, deep, orderly, integrated and lasting change. This is attractive as it makes it possible to estimate the number of sessions required based on evidence and our experience. Prior to your consultation, we’ll have a conversation to answer any questions as well as assess your needs so as to schedule the appropriate number of sessions required to meet expectations both ways.
Typically clients attend 1-5 sessions. Considering clients present with a problem they have often had for many years, it is a testament to a fast and effective treatment.
The treatment can seem intense as it is concentrated and the effects are rapid unlike other treatments you may have already tried such as medication, visits to your doctor or a coach, psychotherapist, a psychologist or psychiatrist.
What can I expect in the sessions?
My own experience has proven that lasting change is achieved best by engaging the conscious mind as well as the subconscious and unconscious mind in the changes. Clients benefit from my skills as a manifestation coach where I help clients to understand the power of their consciousness and how it shapes their reality. Their learning of this personal power engages clients automatically in wanting to take charge and guide it. To meet this criterion, in each session there are conversations prior to hypnosis where we, together come to understand what the contributing factors are to your dissatisfaction and discomfort. It is an important part of your success in hypnosis also, so we dedicate the appropriate time necessary. This makes the ‘unconscious’ factors, now conscious. Following the ‘conscious’ work, the appropriate desired changes are addressed in hypnosis to ‘unlearn’ the relevant limiting patterns of the past and replace them with successful and rewarding ones. Our time together is about half dedicated to ‘conscious’ conversation and half dedicated to hypnotic change. The typical duration of a session for teenagers and adults is 1.5-2 hours per session.
Regards to the ‘effect’ of the altered state of consciousness due to hypnosis, you are more than capable of continuing your typical day after attending your session as the transition back to normal state is achieved after 10-15 minutes.
Ideal client participation is achieved by having a Hypnotic Mindset. This means:
- You are ready and strongly motivated for change
- You want to create a change for you, rather than on behalf of another
- You are expectant, where you have a hope if not a belief, that hypnosis or hypnotherapy can be an effective tool for YOU to create change.
- You are willing to engage and be guided in an atmosphere of trust based on rapport.
- You understand that hypnosis is a state of focused attention and not necessarily a deep trance.
If your visit is based on the recommendation of another, or as a result of having witnessed the success of another which you’d like to experience for yourself, then you already have an ideal ‘Hypnotic Mindset’ as you’re expectant and receptive.
My clinical experience as a full-time hypnotherapist spans over thousands of sessions with clients from ages 13 years – 80+ years, from diverse backgrounds, cultures, education and positions so you are in competent hands (see clients’ experiences).
Hypnosis and hypnotherapy is validated by science and is now used in hospitals and schools. In addition, the power of thoughts and feelings on our behavior and health is undeniably linked and proven scientifically, as illustrated by Dr Joe Dispenza’s work.
